Lyrics (unofficial)
[rev. Aug. 30, 2015]
Electric lash of trees in the studio
Fills my head with light
Only the voice of the girl on a radio
Falling from a height
And I turn to leave as if in a cameo
It doesn't feel quite right
Only one thing you ever really know
If it's day or night
Our eyes meet and I love her
I suspect she already knows
How those eyes see me so very, very clearly
Even when they're closed
Electric lash of trees in the studio
A bite then a caress
Only the voice of the girl on a radio
Drifting from the west
And I turn to leave as if in a cameo
A moon, a knot, a guess
Only one thing you ever really know
You might curse before you bless
Our eyes meet and I love her
I suspect she already knows
How those eyes see me so very, very clearly
Even when they're closed
Electric lash of trees in the studio
Fills my head with light
Only the voice of the girl on a radio
Falling from a height
And I turn to leave as if in a cameo
It doesn't feel quite right
Only one thing you ever really know
If it's day or night
[They start singing a round, with Marty providing background vocals.]
Electric lash of trees in the studio (And I turn to leave as if in a cameo)
Fills my head with light (It doesn't feel quite right)
Only the voice of the girl on a radio (Only one thing you ever really know)
Falling from a height (If it's day or night)
And I turn to leave as if in a cameo (Electric lash of trees in the studio)
It doesn't feel quite right (Fills my head with light)
Only one thing you ever really know (Only the voice of the girl on a radio)
If it's day or night (Falling from a height)
Electric lash of trees in the studio (And I turn to leave as if in a cameo)
Fills my head with light (It doesn't feel quite right)
Only the voice of the girl on a radio (Only one thing you ever really know)
Falling from a height (If it's day or night)
